You can download the Free Rom toolbox, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en

There is a few other CPU clocking apps on the market to change the settings. I'm not really an OC'er so I dont know.

Guys, I am looking for the wallpaper that was included in V7. It was the last one to choose from (not sure about V8), all the way to the right. It is an all-black wallpaper with about an inch of radiating color at the bottom. I have searched exhaustively for the wallpaper. Any way to extract it from the ROM or identify it???

This is my favorite wallpaper to date. Need to find a JPEG or a link to it!

There are other ways to connect to 911, if necessary a person can call the operator or Tmobile and they can connect you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Nope, what process is using the most of the battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] kevho00:
Yeah I'm with you! The walls in v7 were kick ass. Anyone got them?
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
That's what I did last time and it is not the proper way. Tmobile has very poor signal coverage in countryside, and you may not be able to make a regular call. 911 calling is different from regular call, and you should be able to call 911 in areas even without signal.
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Hmm my launcher keeps force closing when I scroll through the app draw any idea? I wiped cache and fixed permission still no go :(

If media process giving problems. Clear media process reboot and let it settle and index! When it clears reboot and repeat. It should eventually only take 10-15 seconds to clear.

[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
How would i check? Also i've frozen DRM from titanium backup if that makes a difference.

ME TOO. i loved all the wallpapers from v7, how can we extract them?
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
How would I check that ?

I dont know what you are talking about ;-) my GPS never worked this good.

Locks on in < 30 sec and spot-on 6-9m accuracy.

Are you using KB5 modem? Maybe re-flashing is a due.

have you switched from Standalon to MSBased?

Also if you want to search this thread I have posted a file with gps.conf tweaks i placed in my ROM before flashing that might improve things for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
I havnt found how to extract them from the db. https://imgur.com/WqZwR has the one he's looking for, its my favorite. If you are on v7, go to /data/data/com.android.settings/files/ and wallpaper (no extension) is your current wallpaper. Copy and rename it wallpaper.jpg

I sat at the random line for over 10 minutes thought it was a bad dl so I re downloaded and still stuck there...? Does it take awhile to get passed there or is my phone going to poo?? Gb boot loaders of course
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
You should be fine in both cases. It does not heart to flash bootloader. However I belive that lidroid build already has GB bootloaders. You dont have to have GB bootloader before ODIN.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
I just checked it was disabled but calender and browser sync was enabled so I disabled those because I dont use them . Anything else that may be keep the phone awake ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
It can take a few minutes... it didn't take me 10 though, probably around 2-5min. In recovery, Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe user data, and Format /system then try again. May be hung up somewhere in there.

I came from stock 2.1 (I was at KB5 stock 2.2), flashed CM 2.5, Wiped all the data OP recommended in recovery, then flashed ICS v7, rebooted, flashed ICS v7 again, used it for a bit, then flashed the GB boot loader. All worked 100% for me... So it does work comming straight from stock, and I had/still have data on my sdcard and external_sd (now /emmc which I hate...)
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
If you are coming from non-voodoo ROM you probably did not have EXT4 enabled and one of the upgrade scripts is running FS conversion which takes time. Give it like 10-15 min it will complete. If this kernel head voodoo enabled Linda would have told you the progress of FS conversion but this kernel has no voice feedback to let you know what it is currently doing.

I have the froyo boot loader, won't their b an issue odin-ing over it with lidroid and the GB bootloader
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Try this, first flash v8 once for CWR, do not reboot. The follow regular steps:

1) Format system

2) Reset to factory

3) Flash v8

3) Reboot

4) Wait 10-15 min

5) Reboot

6) Continue configuring or setting up your phone.

If lidroid ROM already includes GB bootloader you just ODIN it.

If it does not then after ODIN to lidroid you will need to ODIN GB bootloader.
[Vibrant Android Development] kilogramz718:
v8 has been the best rom out of the ics passion movement great work neobuddy as far as i could tell the stable will be ready soon cause v8 i havent encountered any bugs or anything yet

maybe some of you should flash it get to the home screen let it set and load everything up then reboot havent gotten any lag as of yet keep up the great work
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
If your GPS never worked that would explain why it does not work now.

But in my case it was poorly working on 2.1 but greatly improved in 2.2 and when 2.3 ROMs sent me back into stone age where GPS stooped working and now on v8 ICS it works better than ever.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:

Sorry to be such a baby about it (my wife gets pissed when I update rooms and I'm trying to avoid a sexless 2012)

Two questions:

1) Do we know, for a fact, that Lidroid Odin has GB bootloader?

2) Will flashing over the froyo bootloader with GB **** my **** up?

I appreciate ur help and thanks are coming

Exchange Calendar Not Working

I noticed that with the new v8 my Exchange Calendar does not show up as a calendar option even though I have it checked to sync. Everything else works (email, contacts, etc). Anyone else experiencing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
If you doenload loadroid open up zip and see if it containes Sbl.bin and boot.bin if it does it has bootloader of one or the other is missing you should not be flashing it. If both are missing that means no bootloader and you can download and ODIN it by itself. The GB bootloader is backward compatable meaning it will work on froyo GB and now on ICS ROMS. You only have to be careful when you flash other ROMS to make sure they dont have bootloader or if the do both files need to be present or things will get ugly for you and your worth dreams might come true.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
FYI. The wallpapers you are looking for are stored in the "Launcher2.apk" file, which can be extracted from the main ICS v7 zip file. The APK is in the "/system/app" folder.

Since an APK file is really just a Zip file, so you can unzip everything you need. Once you unzip "Launcher2.apk" (you may have to change .apk to .zip), look in the "res/drawable-hdpi" folder. All the wallpapers start with "wallpaper_". You can ignore the files with "small" in the filename.

The wallpaper you are talking about is called "wallpaper_lightgrad.jpg". It appears all the wallpapers were stripped out of Launcher2.apk in ICS v8.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Same here It must be related to upgrade to 4.0.3 framework.

When I go to settings and choose calendar to display it does not have exchange account in the list however it is in the list of accounts setup to sync to calendar.
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Or people could search this thread. I pulled them a few days ago and uploaded them in a .zip. .-.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Yes, the calendar still states 4.0.1

As far as 911 vs e911. Read here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20539061&postcount=58

e911 does not work, 911 does. I'm not sure I comprehend the difference as far as it being a crisis. e911 only plays a factor with no SIM installed, and/or if 911 is attempting to acquire GPS coordinates... which we all know how well that goes with vibrants....

I just flashed V8 and LOVE IT.. no lag and its much snappier IMO. I am still getting the low space issue. I have tried the (gmail fix) but its still coming up.

Any ideas what else i can try? Anyone else having the problem on V8?
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
I dont think that 911 ever gets your exact GPS coordinates it only gets tower and triangulates.
[Vibrant Android Development] J017373:
Dude thanks. That helps a lot. Just one more question for my own info. If u have a GB bootloader and an Odin file with both sbl.bin and boot.bin but frroyo, will it replace the GB bootloader?

PS thanks for saving 2012.

If you have any clockwork backups or rom/settings saved it usually is under /sdcard/clockworkmod

I think the FC problems are due to dalvik vm.

I edited my build.prop with this changes and my laucher stoped FC

Removed this line: dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false

I have just installed V8 as well and I'm currently in the process of restoring my apps. However I am picking and choosing which apps I am restoring and that helped me alot on V7. I'm crossing my fingers that that will be the case on V8 as well. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Yes that is the idea. If both are present it will overwrite your exiting bootloader but if one is missing than you might be in for a bumpy ride.

Wait for Google to release the patch for the same issue in the nexus s? ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] ReBORN ViRUS:
Here are the issues I have been facing so far -

1. Frequent FC's on launcher but I wanna give it more time to settle down. Its been less than 24 hours of using it.

2. Frequent FC's on Gallery. Its almost as bad as every alternate time I access it.

3. Couple of soft re-boots.

4. Exchange calendar is not syncing and hence nothing is showing up on the Calendar even though auto syncing is ON for all accounts and exchange account has sync frequency set to PUSH. Not sure if this issue is specific to this ROM or ICS in general.

5. Intermittent problem of other person hearing echo in my voice on IN-COMING calls.

After a complete battery flush, I calibrated it and it lasted 5 hours before it completely died. I did not see media service as a problem or may be I was looking at the wrong place. The battery usage stats did not report anything related to media service IMK. Anyhow, too early to report this as issue cuz I feel gotto give the ROM more time to settle.

Installation procedure background -

My phone was on Toxic Crazy 8 (Froyo 2.2) so I first installed GB-BL followed by CM7. Installed v8 on top of that and at both occasions (2.2 --> 2.3 and 2.3 --> 4.0.3) stumbled upon bootloops cuz of cwm version mismatch. Expected, but instructions in OP helped me get over that. Let the phone stay untouched for 10 mins, rebooted and been using like a mad-man since then.
[Vibrant Android Development] kevho00:
Yeah Im stock
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
I went back to v7 because of 1,2,4, and 5. The "lag" honestly is not even noticeable now, it feels slightly faster than when using stock 2.1. :x I'll put up with that for the perks.
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
I am currently on cm7. If I were to flash this, can I just do it without having to do anything else? The main post says I need GB bootloaders on top of CM7, but is that mandatory?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
If the post says it, do it. Yes they are mandatory to see recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] robertd0619:

[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
That may not be legal in some planes and/or countries...

...wait

...you mean the phone... my bad. :)

v8 is faster, but it has more oddities and show stoppers than v7 did IMO. I'm dying to hear from neobuddy on the mod he used for the google search bar removal/dock settings in v7.
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
Isn't cm7 made to work with froyo bootloaders? Wouldn't flashing GB bootloaders cause the phone to no longer boot?
[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
Worked fine for me. It's a bootloader, not a ROM or recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
GB bootloaders on CM7 cause your sdcard to be broken, might cause other problems, not sure.

So far my main issue has been Launcher force-closing and some random lag. Running more than a few apps at a time also slows it down. I downloaded Set CPU and set it to 400 min, 1000 max and set at boot to try and minimize issues from OC'ing, but that hasn't made a difference. Might try the build.prop edit mentioned in this thread to fix Launcher FC issues.

Is video recording glitchy for anyone else? I mean, it records fine, but playing the video back on a computer or the phone gives stutters and other random glitches. 720p seems to get it much worse than 480p, but they both worked fine on CM7 and stock.

I think they go here /dev/block/mtdblock0 ... if that is correct ... i can create the package... as i am in a development forum... and this specifically has to do with this ROM (for me anyway) some one here should know correct?

Please point me to the right direction, your time and help is greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Do you have large flash card with tons of pictures and video on it? Or you have it on internal memory? Try removing SD and moving all your media pictures and video off of internal. Wipe to factory and see if it resolves.

It used to be, but with some of the later builds it seemed to work better. Waaaaaaait, no, that was because I only shot video before 720p was added because that was before summer ended, if memory serves. Yeah, CM7 was glitchy too. Stock was fine, though.

Has anyone tried to undeclock?

Mine started to warm up to 43c so I decided to clock it down a bit.

However it would not allow to set min below 200Mhz??

Is it due to SPU Slider app or is there a hard-coded value somewhere to to allow to go below 200Mhz?

Also after under-coking from ROM Toolbox the phone wont go into deep-sleep.

UPDATE:

Never mind after two reboots the deep-sleep resolved but 200Mhz limit is still not allowing to set to 100Mhz
[Vibrant Android Development] Maverick777:
Neo, great work on this rom. No major bugs so far. I didn't encounter the mute/unmute call bug.

However, android.process.media is definitely eating up my phone. I let it finish indexing and the phone was OK. I had to reboot for something and it had to index again. It took almost 2 hours for it to finish the first time. I'm hoping it doesn't take as long this go around (edit: took about 20 minutes this time).

Other than that, everything appears to be working as it's supposed to. It's not super smooth or fast right now, but I'll going to keep playing with it and report back in the next few days.

Keep up the good work. :D

Use the search function to find the gb boot loader and Odin it. You will be future proofing your phone for any upcoming ICS builds.
